The Rolling Stones are planning to reschedule these postponed shows at a later date.”The postponed shows were set to begin on March 19th in Perth, Australia, with the band criss-crossing the country until ending their Oceania leg on April 5th in Auckland, New Zealand. The band issued a statement on their website asking ticket holders to retain their tickets, with new dates scheduled to be announced shortly.Following a brief statement Monday that he was “completely shocked and devastated by the news,” Jagger released a longer statement Tuesday:“I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way. We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me. I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.I will never forget her,Mick”Rolling Stones’ Postponed Tour Dates3/19 Perth, AU @ Perth Arena3/22 Adelaide, AU @ Adelaide Oval3/25 Sydney, AU @ Allphones Arena3/28 Melbourne, AU @ Rod Laver Arena3/30 Macedon, AU @ Hanging Rock4/02 Brisbane, AU @ Entertainment Centre4/05 Auckland, NZ @ Mt.
